SteadyBottom Line
My main mission was to work on the Lower Titus weather station, so snowpack obs are limited. I did not encounter any avalanche problems. There were small drifts from the weekend's storm, even in the relatively sheltered areas I traveled, but no sensitive slabs. Snow was moist (easy to make a snowball) on steep souths by noon but I didn't observe any wet avalanche problems.
